Extraordinary magical melodies attract bizarre white beings. They glide over the floor like a bow over the strings of a violin and together they decide to build a world of paper. Music and movement develop into a playground of soaring lightness.

Location

Elbphilharmonie Hamburg Kaistudio 1

Located within the base section of the Elbphilharmonie building on floors 2 and 3 are the Kaistudios, home to the Elbphilharmonie’s World of Instruments and extensive music education programme. The largest Kaistudio is the Elbphilharmonie’s third concert hall – ideal for concerts, experimental music, seminars and workshops for up to 150 guests.

Finding Your Seat

All visitors enter the building via the main entrance. The Kaistudio on floors 2 and 3 are not accessible via the Tube (long escalator), but rather using the stairs or group B lifts. Please follow the signs provided in the tunnel on right-hand side of the Tube. Admission is by concert ticket only.

The Elbphilharmonie is a special building situated in a special place. Allow for plenty of time for getting to the Elbphilharmonie and the way to the concert area. We suggest first-time Elbphilharmonie visitors arrive at the main entrance 30 minutes before the start of the concert or event. Late seating is not guaranteed and latecomers may not be admitted to the concert hall.

Concert tickets for the Grand and Recital Halls authorise a visit to the Plaza from two hours before the start of the concert or event. Visitors to the Kaistudios require a separate Plaza ticket to visit the Plaza.

The foyers of the Grand and Recital Halls open their doors 90 minutes before the start of the concert or event. The bars in each foyer open simultaneously.

Admission into the halls begins 30 minutes before the start of the concert or event; for events offering pre-concert talks, admission into the halls begins 60 minutes before the start of the concert.

Smoking Ban

Smoking is prohibited throughout the entire premises of the Elbphilharmonie.
